I remember walking out of the cinema at the end of this film in a daze, my brain incapable of computing the audacity it had been subjected to by the unhollywood ending and stylish bleakness on display for the previous couple of hours.
It hits you like a sledgehammer and won't let go. I love a movie that makes you FEEL, and seven does that every time I've watched it in the 25 years since.
It's not for the faint of heart or people who need to see a sunny outlook on humanity, it's far too real for that.
Fantastic acting, pitch perfect direction and screenplay combine to make a true classic of cinema.
If it passed you by in the 90s (or you weren't around then!)... give it a go, it has aged beautifully.
